I seem to have caught a cold. Ugh. I always try to avoid those petty human illnesses. But I'll do my best to surpress the illness. It sucks.

The thing I don't get about the common cold is why one's nose has to keep dripping and dripping and dripping. It's just so disgusting. :( I'm really tired. I haven't sllept well in two days. On the bright side, I got through the Spring Rite and my Wicca graduation before I started feeling too icky.

I never call in sick, so I went in to work. It was really dull.

I had been taking a Wiccan Studies class over at Turning Wheel bookstore and last night was the last class. So I graduated! Yay!! The teacher (Aleta) gave us cords for our robes to signify that we comopleted the first year training. The second year is going to start at the end of May and will run for a year as well.

She holds rituals at the bookstore once per month also. She saw the Spring Rite on paper and liked it enough that she invited me to lead for the April ritual. How cool is that?

I can't wait to start my second year training. :)

As you all know, I'm something of a tech junkie. So, a few weeks ago, I bought a 3G phone from T-Mobile to use as a wireless modem for my laptop computer. It worked out pretty good until t-mobile changed their policy regarding the use of phones as modems. Apparently, only EDGE phones are now permitted to act as wireless devices (60-115 kbps). My Sony Ericsson had been doing over 500 Kbps.

So, then T-mobile said they had an alternate 3G phone that was able to be used. This was a Nokia 6263. The trouble is that it also only did around 115 kbps. The reason being is that it's NOT a 3G phone. Customer Care simply lied to me.

So I spent a week fighting with them about this situation and it basically turns out that I have 22 months of contract to look forward to. I think it might be time to cancel when the service is up. They consider it good business practice to change the tules of the game AFTER the contract is signed and then offer no recourse.

I'm happy to say that my Spring Rite went really well last night at Turning Circle. Since it wasn't actually held on March 21st, I called it a "spring" rite instead of an "Ostara" rite. that, and I invoked the Goddess in the general form as opposed to her Ostara goddess aspect. We had 20 people come last night, and that's pretty good for a Pagan gathering (where a dozen is more the norm). I'm REALLY happy that everyone enjoyed the service and found spiritual meaning in it.

Doug also became a member of Turning Circle last night. He's still a Seeker but his Initiation into Wicca will be in January 2010. So he still has 10 months to go. but already he's learned a lot about Wicca. I'm really happy about this. :)

Amazingly enough, I was able to figure out why my domain account was having so many problems. It's supposed to have 50 Gb worth of storage (more than I'll ever use) but it actually only had 50 Mb of storage (which I could easily use up). So the blog had been around for four years and each entry ate up little chunks of space. Last week, it hit the 50 Mb mark and collapsed the database. That's also why my email stopped working.

So, long story short, I got my account fixed. then I got a week's worth of email delivered to my blackberry.

Thanks for all the patience!
